i have about 500 hundred miles on my endless pads and so far i'm more than pleased with them. no more dust, no noise and great initial bite. i'm also loving my stoptech slotted direct oem replacement rotors. this combo is working quite well.

I love my Project Mu pads. When we went out on runs and were breaking hard non-stop, I didn't have an issue w/ fade one bit. The breaks do get a little bit of dust, which I don't mind because the breaks are awesome.

I'm on my second set of Endless Vita Nuova. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I run them with R1Concepts rotors and they are much better over OEM and dust far far less! A little pricey for pads though. You may want to contact Eddie Takahashi from www.mynismo.com. He gave me a discount when I ordered two sets at a time.

Also wanted to mention that these pads only lasted me 10 months before the fronts were toast. I do a lot of spirited driving.

Good luck.

they are cheaper than brembos.. i'll tell you that much. a set of brembo front pads are $220 and the rears are $120.

I like my Project Mu and have heard good things about Endless. My pads squeek a lot though, so this weekend I hope to see what the issue is.

I have the Project Mu B-Force and like them alot. IMO, theyre a big improvement to the factory pads that came with the OEM brembos. Better stopping and less dust compared to OEM.
